Kaleidocycle

A Kaleido-what?

While making the popup card yesterday, we stumbled upon another great paper craft on the same site to make this toy.  I can’t explain how the thing works, see here for yourself.  The printable template is there too.  Just print it out, give yourself 10 minutes to sort the instructions out, and then impress the kids with it.

Crafting // Recycled Envelopes Part 1

These envelope security patterns look interesting.  I think they make great journal paper patterns.
I followed these instructions to print on my recycled envelopes, also created a mounting template for 5″ x 5″ and 4″ x 8″ below.
